NaturalSoundPhilippines PresidentFidel Ramos used a nationwide broadcast on Monday to try and defuse tensions over plans to amend the constitution.
The country's financial markets declined sharply after reports that Ramos was looking to extend his term in office.
The President denied the allegations and said he would not be declaring martial law to keep his grip on power.
Philippines stocks plummeted on Monday after reports that President Ramos was seeking to extend his term in office.
Any extension would require changes to the country's constitution - a move that would be unpopular in the business sector.
Last week, four leading businessmen issued a statement condemning any moves for change.
But the President carried on state affairs as usual, welcoming Bangladesh's Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina,on her arrival for a three-day visit to the Philippines.
Hasina's visit is aimed at bolstering trade between the two countries. She is the fourth Bangladeshi head of government to visit the Philippines since diplomatic ties were established in 1972.
The President appeared relaxed having already addressed the nation both on television and radio earlier in the day.
His speech aimed to stop all speculations over his intentions to stay in power.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"That we are seeking to proclaim martial law, that we are veering towards dictatorship, these are blatant lies, falsehoods and fabrications. As President, I categorically and emphatically deny these responsible accusations. I also categorically declare that our country will definitely have national and local elections in May, 1998 as scheduled. Likewise, I am against term extension. I have no intention whatsoever to proclaim martial law and will not proclaim martial law."

But Ramos' statement earlier in the day failed to halt the protest actions.
The Catholic Church, which represents 84 percent of the people, also voiced their concerns over moves to amend the charter.
In a circular released over the weekend, Catholic Archbishop CardinalJaime Sin urged the people to be vigilant to ensure that freedom is not lost.
In the same circular, he called on the people to let their voices be heard by joining in mass action, starting with a noise barrage on Monday at 6:00 pm (local time) and everyday after that until September 21st when the protest will culminate in a rally.
Former President Corazon Aquino, one of the most ardent opponents to the charter change led the noise barrage just outside her home in suburban Makati.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
" We are against charter change at this time. And in the President's statement, I don't think it was mentioned that there will be no charter change at all. So we want to ensure that specifically there will be no lifting of term limits for elected officials. And we want to continue with this."

September 21 will mark the 25th anniversary of the imposition of martial law by the late dictator former President Ferdinand Marcos.
The church and other opponents to charter change say they will not call off their planned mass protest scheduled for that day.
They want to dramatize their call to keep democracy on the anniversary of the time that the country lost it 25 years ago.

Fidel V. Ramos

Fidel Valdez RamosAFPPLHGCMG (born March 18, 1928), popularly known as FVR and Eddie, was the 12thPresident of the Philippines from 1992 to 1998. During his six years in office, Ramos was widely credited and admired by many for revitalizing and renewing international confidence in the Philippine economy.

During the historic 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution, Ramos was hailed as a hero by many Filipinos for his decision to breakaway from the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos and pledge allegiance and loyalty to the newly established government of President Aquino.

Under Ramos, the Philippines experienced a period of political stability and rapid economic growth and expansion, as a result of his policies and programs designed to foster national reconciliation and unity. Ramos was able to secure major peace agreements with Muslim separatists, communist insurgents and military rebels, which renewed investor confidence in the Philippine economy. Ramos also aggressively pushed for the deregulation of the nation's major industries and the privatization of bad government assets. As a result of his hands-on approach to the economy, the Philippines was dubbed by various internationally as Asia's Next Economic Tiger.

Rodrigo Duterte

PRESIDENT RODRIGO DUTERTE
---------------------------------------------------
Duterte wants to overhaul the unitary-presidential system and shift to a federal-parliamentary system through a Constitutional Convention. He desires the holding of a plebiscite and preparing the future federal states to effect power-sharing, resources-sharing, respect-for-all and development-for-all as key to reforming the whole bureaucracy to effect good governance. Reforms under the new system are said to include: increasing the salaries of government workers; fighting graft and corruption; and unleashing the full potentials of all regions and ethnic groups for social, economic and cultural growth. Furthermore, constitutional amendment shall lift restrictive economic provisions in the Constitution, grant more foreign ownership of property and certain industries.
The centerpiece of Duterte’s campaign platform was suppressing the three so-called evils: crime, illegal drugs and corruption, which he believes are undermining security across all sectors and hampering the growth of the domestic economy. He pledged to instill discipline with an iron fist for everyone to adhere to the rule of law and strengthen the country’s justice system. To reestablish law and order, he plans to launch a focused, time-bound campaign against criminals, drug lords and corrupt government officials through the joint efforts of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP).
He also plans to carry out: improvement of government provision of social services which include education, health, housing, mass transportation with special attention to the elderly, women, children, youth, indigenous peoples and other marginalized sectors; provision of assistance to Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and their families; and adaptation to climate change through reducing risk, preparing for natural disasters and adopting 911 nationwide.

Also in the lineup are three former vice presidential candidates of different political parties who ran but lost in 1992.
Ramos is also backing his partner during the 1986 "People Power Revolution". Juan Ponce Enrile and Ramos are credited with spear heading the revolt which overthrew Ferdinand Marcos and brought his predecessor Corazon Aquino to power.
PopularHealth Secretary, Juan Flavier is also on the ticket. Flavier, who supports birth control, has been waging a battle with the Catholic church because of his stand on family planning.
SOUNDBITE:
"We have forged this great coalition to win the Senatorial campaign and the Senate contest on May 8, 1995 and offer our people a champion Senatorial team."

He also plans to carry out: improvement of government provision of social services which include education, health, housing, mass transportation with special attention to the elderly, women, children, youth, indigenous peoples and other marginalized sectors; provision of assistance to Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) and their families; and adaptation to climate change through reducing risk, preparing for natural disasters and adopting 911 nationwide.

Philippine PresidentFidel Ramos is on the campaign trail, and predicting that the candidates he supports will sweep the upcoming Senate race.
At a rally in Manila today he backed candidates from a range of political parties, including a former opponent.
Election campaigns in the Philippines are always colourful. The upcoming Senate race scheduled for May 8 is no exception.
Philippine President, Fidel V. Ramos joined the festivities on Saturday predicting a sweep in favor of his administration's candidates. At stake are 12 of the country's 24 Senate seats.
The candidates backed by Ramos belong to several political parties. Ramos says they have agreed to join his ticket because their shared vision is more important than respective partisan interests.
The administration ticket includes four incumbents and several political veterans, including former House SpeakerRamon Mitra, who ran but lost against Ramos in 1992 presidential elections.
Also in the lineup are three former vice presidential candidates of different political parties who ran but lost in 1992.
Ramos is also backing his partner during the 1986 "People Power Revolution". Juan Ponce Enrile and Ramos are credited with spear heading the revolt which overthrew Ferdinand Marcos and brought his predecessor Corazon Aquino to power.
PopularHealth Secretary, Juan Flavier is also on the ticket. Flavier, who supports birth control, has been waging a battle with the Catholic church because of his stand on family planning.
SOUNDBITE:
"We have forged this great coalition to win the Senatorial campaign and the Senate contest on May 8, 1995 and offer our people a champion Senatorial team."

Ramos' candidates are expected to contest opposition candidates such as Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Gregorio Honasan, a cashiered military officer who led three coup attempts against Aquino.

"THE LEADERS" Interview with Fidel Valdez Ramos 4

It is no secret in the Philippines that if not for the constitution, Fidel (Eddie) Ramos would have easily won a second presidential term in 1998. During his five-year presidency, the Philippines enjoyed economic growth, and he sought to cut and restructure the country's bloated bureaucracy and to prosecute tax evaders. It was during his time that a peace agreement with military rebels and the MNLF separatists in southern Philippines was achieved, which won him (together with MNLF Chairman Nur Misuari) the UNESCO Peace Prize in1997 - the first for Asians. As the country's 12th president, Ramos is best remembered 'for his ability to lead and his willingness to be led - not by astute advisors and political strategists, but by the people whom he served.'

Any extension would require changes to the country's constitution - a move that would be unpopular in the business sector.
Last week, four leading businessmen issued a statement condemning any moves for change.
But the President carried on state affairs as usual, welcoming Bangladesh's Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina,on her arrival for a three-day visit to the Philippines.
Hasina's visit is aimed at bolstering trade between the two countries. She is the fourth Bangladeshi head of government to visit the Philippines since diplomatic ties were established in 1972.
The President appeared relaxed having already addressed the nation both on television and radio earlier in the day.
His speech aimed to stop all speculations over his intentions to stay in power.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"That we are seeking to proclaim martial law, that we are veering towards dictatorship, these are blatant lies, falsehoods and fabrications. As President, I categorically and emphatically deny these responsible accusations. I also categorically declare that our country will definitely have national and local elections in May, 1998 as scheduled. Likewise, I am against term extension. I have no intention whatsoever to proclaim martial law and will not proclaim martial law."
SUPERCAPTION: President Fidel V. Ramos of the Philippines
But Ramos' statement earlier in the day failed to halt the protest actions.
The Catholic Church, which represents 84 percent of the people, also voiced their concerns over moves to amend the charter.
In a circular released over the weekend, Catholic Archbishop CardinalJaime Sin urged the people to be vigilant to ensure that freedom is not lost.
In the same circular, he called on the people to let their voices be heard by joining in mass action, starting with a noise barrage on Monday at 6:00 pm (local time) and everyday after that until September 21st when the protest will culminate in a rally.
Former President Corazon Aquino, one of the most ardent opponents to the charter change led the noise barrage just outside her home in suburban Makati.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
" We are against charter change at this time. And in the President's statement, I don't think it was mentioned that there will be no charter change at all. So we want to ensure that specifically there will be no lifting of term limits for elected officials. And we want to continue with this."
SUPERCAPTION: Corazon Aquino, Former Philippines President
September 21 will mark the 25th anniversary of the imposition of martial law by the late dictator former President Ferdinand Marcos.
The church and other opponents to charter change say they will not call off their planned mass protest scheduled for that day.
They want to dramatize their call to keep democracy on the anniversary of the time that the country lost it 25 years ago.

As I begin the last two years of my presidency, I speak of tasks that we still must complete.

the network of progress.

However, he intends to depart from Aquino’s legacy of instituting slow but steady macroeconomic reform by advancing an economic agenda which seeks to upgrade, accelerate as well as expand the government’s basic services that shall render the country’s macroeconomic environment more conducive for the flourishing of businesses, influx of investments and conduct of seamless trade within the country and the greater ASEAN region.

Duterte intends to overcome the alleged structural dissonance between macroeconomic reform which has been the hallmark of Aquino’s “Daang Matuwid” program and concrete improvement of living conditions and standards of Juan dela Cruz. In doing so, he has talked about pursuing the following: generation of domestic jobs; increase of employment; abolition of contractualization; promotion of livelihood; agricultural modernization; and entrepreneurial, technological and industrial advancement with just taxation and equitable distribution of wealth while caring for the environment for sustainable development.

PHILIPPINES: PRESIDENT RAMOS ATTEMPT TO END CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS

NaturalSoundPhilippines PresidentFidel Ramos used a nationwide broadcast on Monday to try and defuse tensions over plans to amend the constitution.
The country's financial markets declined sharply after reports that Ramos was looking to extend his term in office.

Philippines stocks plummeted on Monday after reports that President Ramos was seeking to extend his term in office.
Any extension would require changes to the country's constitution - a move that would be unpopular in the business sector.
Last week, four leading businessmen issued a statement condemning any moves for change.
But the President carried on state affairs as usual, welcoming Bangladesh's Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina,on her arrival for a three-day visit to the Philippines.
Hasina's visit is aimed at bolstering trade between the two countries. She is the fourth Bangladeshi head of government to visit the Philippines since diplomatic ties were established in 1972.

Fidel V. Ramos

Fidel Valdez RamosAFPPLHGCMG (born March 18, 1928), popularly known as FVR and Eddie, was the 12thPresident of the Philippines from 1992 to 1998. During his six years in office, Ramos was widely credited and admired by many for revitalizing and renewing international confidence in the Philippine economy.

During the historic 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution, Ramos was hailed as a hero by many Filipinos for his decision to breakaway from the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos and pledge allegiance and loyalty to the newly established government of President Aquino.

Under Ramos, the Philippines experienced a period of political stability and rapid economic growth and expansion, as a result of his policies and programs designed to foster national reconciliation and unity. Ramos was able to secure major peace agreements with Muslim separatists, communist insurgents and military rebels, which renewed investor confidence in the Philippine economy. Ramos also aggressively pushed for the deregulation of the nation's major industries and the privatization of bad government assets. As a result of his hands-on approach to the economy, the Philippines was dubbed by various internationally as Asia's Next Economic Tiger.

"THE LEADERS" Interview with Fidel Valdez Ramos 4

It is no secret in the Philippines that if not for the constitution, Fidel (Eddie) Ramos would have easily won a second presidential term in 1998. During his five-year presidency, the Philippines enjoyed economic growth, and he sought to cut and restructure the country's bloated bureaucracy and to prosecute tax evaders. It was during his time that a peace agreement with military rebels and the MNLF separatists in southern Philippines was achieved, which won him (together with MNLF Chairman Nur Misuari) the UNESCO Peace Prize in1997 - the first for Asians. As the country's 12th president, Ramos is best remembered 'for his ability to lead and his willingness to be led - not by astute advisors and political strategists, but by the people whom he served.'

PHILIPPINES: PRESIDENT RAMOS ATTEMPT TO END CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS

NaturalSoundPhilippines PresidentFidel Ramos used a nationwide broadcast on Monday to try and defuse tensions over plans to amend the constitution.
The country's financial markets declined sharply after reports that Ramos was looking to extend his term in office.
The President denied the allegations and said he would not be declaring martial law to keep his grip on power.
Philippines stocks plummeted on Monday after reports that President Ramos was seeking to extend his term in office.
Any extension would require changes to the country's constitution - a move that would be unpopular in the business sector.
Last week, four leading businessmen issued a statement condemning any moves for change.
But the President carried on state affairs as usual, welcoming Bangladesh's Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina,on her arrival for a three-day visit to the Philippines.
Hasina's visit is aimed at bolstering trade between the two countries. She is the fourth Bangladeshi head of government to visit the Philippines since diplomatic ties were established in 1972.
The President appeared relaxed having already addressed the nation both on television and radio earlier in the day.
His speech aimed to stop all speculations over his intentions to stay in power.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"That we are seeking to proclaim martial law, that we are veering towards dictatorship, these are blatant lies, falsehoods and fabrications. As President, I categorically and emphatically deny these responsible accusations. I also categorically declare that our country will definitely have national and local elections in May, 1998 as scheduled. Likewise, I am against term extension. I have no intention whatsoever to proclaim martial law and will not proclaim martial law."
SUPERCAPTION: President Fidel V. Ramos of the Philippines
But Ramos' statement earlier in the day failed to halt the protest actions.
The Catholic Church, which represents 84 percent of the people, also voiced their concerns over moves to amend the charter.
In a circular released over the weekend, Catholic Archbishop CardinalJaime Sin urged the people to be vigilant to ensure that freedom is not lost.
In the same circular, he called on the people to let their voices be heard by joining in mass action, starting with a noise barrage on Monday at 6:00 pm (local time) and everyday after that until September 21st when the protest will culminate in a rally.
Former President Corazon Aquino, one of the most ardent opponents to the charter change led the noise barrage just outside her home in suburban Makati.

PHILIPPINES: PRESIDENT RAMOS' SPEECH PRAISES ECONOMIC GROWTH

English/Nat
Philippines PresidentFidel Ramos has said his country's economy is growing so fast, it is now being hailed as the new Asian tiger.
During a nationally-televised speech to mark the final two years of his six-year term, Monday, he said the nation had at last achieved political stability and economic growth.
He pledged to spend his final two years consolidating the gains.
President Fidel Ramos, who succeeded Corazon Aquino in July 1992, is credited with starting reforms which helped the long-stagnant Philippine economy begin to grow.
The country's annual growth rate, which was zero when he took office, is forecast to reach between 6 and 8 percent by the year 2000.
During a speech, two thirds through his six-year term, Ramos said his country was no longer on the list of the world's poorest countries in need of special assistance from the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
In just four years starting from a base of zero growth, we are being hailed as the new Asian tiger cub and the hottest emerging market in the region. In just four years, we are today regarded as living proof that democracy is not incompatible with development. That indeed democratic institutions can foster fertile conditions for progress which
authoritarian systems can never match.
SUPERCAPTION: President Fidel V. Ramos, Philippines
Ramos said that the challenge now is no longer to survive but to finish the job so that the Philippines can finally prosper.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
As I begin the last two years of my presidency, I speak of tasks that we still must complete. I want to see our achievements in the economy crowned by greater vigour in business and industry that rivals the tremendous achievements of our neighbours. I want to see us use the peace dividends to bring our strife-torn areas and our rural people into
the network of progress.
SUPER CAPTION: President Fidel V. Ramos, Philippines
Ramos negotiated cease-fires with rebel groups after becoming president, and a preliminary peace agreement was signed with the largest Muslim rebel group a week ago.

"THE LEADERS" Interview with Fidel Valdez Ramos 3

Welcome to THE LEADERS. I'm Ricky Carandang for AsiaViews in Manila. Ten years ago, the Philippines was on a roll. The economy was booming, investments were coming in, people were optimistic. Today people are less optimistic, the government grapples with record budget deficits, the economy is slowing down. Our guest for was president of the Philippines from 1992 to 1998, Mr. Fidel Valdez Ramos. Mr. President, thank you for joining us.

PLEASE FOLLOW US FOR MORE VIDEOS UPDATE:
Duterte has expressed his desire to build on the stellar accomplishments of the administration of outgoing president Benigno Aquino III, particularly the latter’s good governance initiatives and critical structural reforms that transformed the Philippines from being “the sick man of Asia” into “Asia’s rising tiger.” Of his ten-point socioeconomic agenda revealed on Monday, June 20, for example, his first point was to continue and maintain current macroeconomic policies, including fiscal, monetary and trade policies.
However, he intends to depart from Aquino’s legacy of instituting slow but steady macroeconomic reform by advancing an economic agenda which seeks to upgrade, accelerate as well as expand the government’s basic services that shall render the country’s macroeconomic environment more conducive for the flourishing of businesses, influx of investments and conduct of seamless trade within the country and the greater ASEAN region. Some megaprojects worth anticipating include: (a) three major railway systems, namely the Mindanao railway, Manila-Bicol railway, and Manila-Batangas railway; (b) Zamboanga Ecozone, Southern MindanaoGrowthCorridor (General Santos growth corridor and Davao GulfIndustrial corridor); and the South Mindanao-North Sulawesi ro-ro link, among others.
Duterte intends to overcome the alleged structural dissonance between macroeconomic reform which has been the hallmark of Aquino’s “Daang Matuwid” program and concrete improvement of living conditions and standards of Juan dela Cruz. In doing so, he has talked about pursuing the following: generation of domestic jobs; increase of employment; abolition of contractualization; promotion of livelihood; agricultural modernization; and entrepreneurial, technological and industrial advancement with just taxation and equitable distribution of wealth while caring for the environment for sustainable development.
